Bands are forever claiming to be influenced by Pink Floyd but,

Which ones actually sound like Pink Floyd?

"Pharaoh's Daughter" by Secret Machines?

Hark?

Is this reviews in a regency style day again?
I love that day!


yes

regency if you like, non-regency is ok too>

Vouch safe thine aid Oh Lord, let there be Floydian remeniscence!


I can not compete with that

Throwaway comment totally blew up in my undereducated face!


I stole it from Freemasonry

I'm spent.


The Flaming Lips

Wizard and Pompeii from Mystics, and the prog tracks from their early albums (particularly One Billionth...)


LCD Soundsystem

Never As Tired As When I'm Waking Up - even sounds like Gilmour singing!!


cool

I guess I have to finally but it


There is a song on Anathema's "Alternative 4"

That is very Floydian maybe "Lost Control" and some Folydian moments on Anathema's "A Fine Day To Exit" as well.


Also...

You can see the influence in a few Coral songs, notably part of Astronomy Domine being ripped off blatantly in The Operator.

And Pure Reason Revolution are very Floyd influenced at times, can't think of a particular song at the moment though.


I know, isn't it amazing?

So often I'll be listening to something and then suddenly get an urge to put "Meddle" or "Wish You Were Here" on.

Listening to "Atom Heart Mother" at mo


The Soundtrack Of Our Lives

frequently sound like Pink Floyd... mind you, they sound like pretty much every 60s hippy rock act put together!


The Besnard Lakes

Kind of give off that vibe as well. Pink Floyd meets The Moody Blues.


WEISSENSEE by NUE on NUE!

it's so Floydian.


Voyage 34

by Porcupine Tree sounds so much like The Wall, it's almost a complete rip-off.


Six

Except Pink Floyd* suck and Mansun were great.


I've been meaning to get some mansun

start w/ grey lantern? or just get best of?


Strange

I thought there was loads of bands that actually sounded like Pink Floyd. I have really been looking since starting this thread but I.m coming up kind of empty eared.


Just listened to

23 by Blonde Redhead for the first time, and halfway through 'SW' there's a great um, 'tribute' to Atom Heart Mother!


Title track

Brassy bit - have a listen and you'll know what I mean ;)


My Chemical Romance

The Black Parade = The Wall. At least, The End = In The Flesh? and Mama = The Trial. To a hilarious degree.


I would say..

..Black Mountain and Comets On Fire to a certain extent at least.


Dream Theater

"Repentance" from Systematic Chaos could have come from DSOTM or WYWH such is the floydness.


hawkwind

even covered come floyd songs
